DAO / Governance Scope v1.2    11/2025

VOKL DAO & Governance Scope v1

1. What is the VOKL DAO?

The VOKL DAO is the on-chain governance layer that oversees how VOKL is used to reward, protect, and grow the human-first network around REAX.me.

REAX MEDIA INC builds and operates the app, ships features, and signs partnerships.

The VOKL DAO steers how the token and on-chain treasuries serve verified humans over time.

VOKL is a utility token used for rewards, staking, governance, and in-app utilities. It is not an ownership share in REAX MEDIA INC.

2. What the DAO governs vs what the C-Corp controls

DAO / VOKL governance focuses on:

• How community allocations of VOKL are distributed across:
  
  

  • Creator rewards
    
    

  • VOKL Prediction Markets
    
    

  • Staking programs
    
    

  • Growth and airdrops
    
    

  • Ecosystem grants and tools
    
    

• On-chain treasuries and grant programs
  
  

• Certain protocol parameters that affect incentives and fairness:
  
  

  • Reward splits between VIS bands
    
    

  • Reward splits between verticals (sports, news, culture, community)
    
    

  • Fee / rake ranges on VOKL Prediction Markets within preset bounds
    
    

• Funding priorities for ecosystem projects that strengthen the human-first network
  
  

REAX MEDIA INC controls:

• Core product roadmap and feature delivery
  
  

• The REAX.me brand, IP, and codebase
  
  

• Off-chain business operations:
  
  

  • Employment, contractors, compliance
    
    

  • Partnerships, sponsorships, and revenue contracts
    
    

  • Pricing of fiat products (Boosts, SaaS tools, API access, kits)
    
    

• Legal, policy, and trust & safety standards that keep the platform compliant and safe
  
  

The DAO cannot force REAX MEDIA INC to take on legal risk, violate jurisdictional laws, or ship unsafe features. The C-Corp cannot arbitrarily override on-chain governance decisions that sit within the agreed scope and guardrails.

3. Phased governance roadmap

We roll into community governance in stages. That keeps things safe early and more open over time.

Phase 0 – Founding Governance (Pre-TGE / Early TGE)

• A small founding multisig (REAX MEDIA INC + trusted collaborators) controls:
  
  

  • Token contracts
    
    

  • Initial emissions configuration
    
    

  • Early treasury spend for product and security
    
    

• Community input is advisory: feedback, testing, and early proposals
  
  

• Primary focus: ship product, secure the rails, prove real usage
  
  

Phase 1 – Parameter & Program Governance (Year 1–2)

DAO token holders can vote on:

• Reward allocations across major buckets:

  
  

  • Creator rewards
    
    

  • VOKL Prediction Markets
    
    

  • Staking programs
    
    

  • Growth / airdrops
    
    

  • Ecosystem grants
    
    

• VIS band reward splits (for example: how much more high-VIS accounts earn vs. low-VIS)
  
  

• Which grant programs to prioritize in a given quarter (campus creators, tooling, vertical-specific projects)
  
  

• Launch / pause of specific Prediction Market categories under the compliance policy

Founding multisig still has veto powers for security, legal, and emergency situations. Those powers and conditions are documented and transparent.

Phase 2 – Expanded Protocol Governance (Year 3+)

If the system is stable and the community is healthy, the DAO’s authority can expand to:

• Annual budget frameworks for community treasuries
  
  

• Adjusting fee / rake ranges on VOKL utilities within min / max bands
  
  

• Approving new utility sinks and reward mechanisms that plug into VOKL
  
  

• Delegated councils for:
  
  

  • Grants
    
    

  • Risk / safety
    
    

  • Ecosystem approvals
    
    

REAX MEDIA INC still controls app development and corporate decisions. The DAO increasingly shapes the incentive machine that sits on top of the app.

4. Who participates and how

Participation is open, but it is not “one wallet, one voice, no questions asked.”

We anchor governance to human presence and integrity:

• VOKL token holders can vote on proposals within the DAO’s scope
  
  

• Higher-weight roles and advisory positions are tied to:
  
  

  • Verified Proof of Voice status on at least one account
    
    

  • Voice Integrity Score (VIS) history over time
    
    

  • Contribution history (creator, builder, reviewer, moderator)
    
    

• Anti-sybil and anti-bot measures are used wherever possible:
  
  

  • Device attestations
    
    

  • Liveness checks
    
    

  • Pattern detection for vote-buying and spam
    
    

Goal: governance reflects real humans who show up and contribute, not bot nets or mercenary whales.

5. Guardrails and limits

To protect both users and the project:

• The DAO cannot:
  
  

  • Issue equity in REAX MEDIA INC
    
    

  • Promise price appreciation, yield, or profits to token holders
    
    

  • Override platform safety rules, content policies, or legal obligations
    
    

  • Force REAX MEDIA INC to ship specific features or sign specific deals
    
    

• REAX MEDIA INC cannot:
  
  

  • Secretly change on-chain token supply
    
    

  • Seize user-controlled VOKL balances
    
    

  • Unilaterally redirect community treasury funds that are locked to DAO governance without emergency justification
    
    

Emergency controls (for example, halting rewards or pausing markets under attack) are clearly documented and time-bounded, with a requirement to publish a post-mortem.

6. Example DAO decisions over time

To make it concrete, here are examples of decisions the DAO can reasonably govern:

• “Increase the share of community rewards going to high-VIS creators from X% to Y%”
  
  

• “Allocate Z% of this quarter’s grants to campus sports creators”
  
  

• “Approve a pilot grant for an open-source moderation dashboard that uses VIS signals”
  
  

• “Pause political Prediction Markets in jurisdiction A due to regulatory changes, keep them live elsewhere where compliant”
  
  

• “Route a larger share of VOKL emissions to long-term stakers for the next 12 months”
  
  

These are the types of calls that shape how the network treats humans without turning every decision of REAX MEDIA INC into a governance vote.
